Math8. Factoring Sum and Difference of Two Cubes

This document provides strategies for factoring the sum and difference of perfect cubes using formulas. It contains 3 formulas for factoring expressions involving perfect cubes in their factored form. Examples are also provided to demonstrate how to use the formulas to factor sums and differences of perfect cubes. The key information is that any term with an exponent that is divisible by 3 is considered a perfect cube, and the document presents formulas for factoring expressions involving perfect cubes into their factored form.
